Answer 1

Answer: Republicans established the Committee to Re-elect the President and were determined by any means to obtain a Republican-controlled Congress. With enormous funds they engaged in criminal activities to try to undermine the Democratic campaign. After discovery, the president attempted to help cover up the criminal activity. As it became more apparent that Nixon was involved in the cover-up, the public reacted to what they considered a blatant abuse of governmental power that could undermine the American system and its traditions.

Answer 2

Answer: Personally, Nixon lacked humor and grace, was remote, and was considered tricky by his opponents. He used the power of government to try to maintain economic stability and control inflation. While he accepted the basic social programs of the Democrats, he tried to systematize them. When the oil embargo disrupted the economy, he was unable to stabilize it. He did make some changes in social welfare programs.

Answer 3

Answer: Nixon announced the Nixon Doctrine to try to deal with events in Vietnam. The United States would continue to support the war financially but would withdraw its troops. Henry Kissinger negotiated a ceasefire with North Vietnam but eventually the communists took over the South. Nixon was more successful in dealing with other communist countries, which he no longer viewed as monolithic. He established formal diplomatic relations with communist China and pursued a policy of dtente with the Soviet Union to try to reduce world tensions.
